Ordered only pizza: deep dish chicken and spinach. Worth the wait: perfect!!! Yummy crust, good sauce and excellent consistency, the taste and seasoning was soooooooo good!!! Cheesy too! Shout out to the beautiful and friendly Lailey, one of the servers who was personable and sweet!

First time at Giordano's but I've had Chicago deep dish pizza before. The restaurant is in a great…read morelocation in downtown Indy with high ceilings and lots of light. We went at 12:45 on a Thursday afternoon. We had a large group and were told it was about a thirty minute wait (which was fine). The food was good. I'm not a huge fan of Chicago style deep dish pizza but I hadn't had it in a few years. The crust was ok but not flaky enough. The sauce had a good tomato flavor and a bit on the chunky side. There were only a few pieces of sausage and the cheese was not very noticeable in the flavor profile. My Caesar salad was very good with lots of Parmesan cheese. The service left a lot to be desired. I'm not being critical of our server but rather the overall management of the service. They were very understaffed as servers were taking orders, bringing food and drinks, and clearing tables. The food came out of the kitchen slow. And there was one person (who I assume was a manager) who stood around with his arms folded, biting his nails, and doing nothing to help the servers. I'm sorry but if you are short staffed, roll up your sleeves and help clear tables or bring drinks. He did nothing while the servers ran from place to place. In the end, the food was ok but our experience lacked efficient service and I wouldn't go back to this Giordano's location again. There are a lot of other options in the area.

If you're looking for the best pizza in Indianapolis, do yourself a favor and go to Bazbeaux. This…read morelocal institution is credited with helping create the "Indy gourmet" pizza style: innovative toppings on a thin, hand-tossed crust so we went in with high expectations, and it delivered. We ordered a half-and-half pizza with the Spicy Bee on one side and the Bazbeaux Special with pine nuts on the other. Everything was delicious. It's all made fresh to order, so it took a bit of time to come out, but that's exactly why it tasted so good: fresh ingredients, a crisp thin crust that stays sturdy under the toppings, and great flavor throughout. With many toppings to choose from and a good beer and wine selection, there's a ton to explore here, and it's very vegetarian-friendly, too. The service sealed the deal for us. The staff was extremely friendly and kind, and our waitress was the highlight. We ended up staying a little past closing and started to rush, but she reassured us to take our time and enjoy the meal instead of feeling hurried. That kind of genuine hospitality goes a long way. Cozy, casual atmosphere, excellent pizza, and warm service in the heart of the Mass Ave arts district. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Honestly, the food was delish. The Brussels sprouts were AMAZING! Smoked wings were good too. We absolutely loved the pizza. The truffle fries were okay. They were out of the garlic aioli that comes with the fries, and I think that would have given them the kick they were missing. The ambiance is cool with the fire pit right at the entrance. Many TVs at the bar, so it's a great spot to catch a game. I also liked the layout of the room - particularly the booths, in relation to where the TVs are. Honestly much better food and ambiance than at one of the other nearby hotel restaurants we tried.

The hummus had a lot of paprika on top of it, but that seemed to enhance the flavor. I had the prime rib French dip with a side of fruit and my wife had the same sandwich, but with a side of fries instead. The prime rib French dip was nice, tender, and juicy, melt in your mouth good. I wish they had supplied more au jus or a wider container for it. The fruit tasted nice and fresh as well. This was an expensive meal at nearly $100 after tip, but I can see myself coming here again someday. Just not very often due to cost. The ambiance consisted mostly of gamers milling about and talking as well as having a wall of televisions showing different things. A bit of a sensory overload at the time.

3 stars for pizza & breadstick 5 stars for customer service…read more Ordered the Vinny...it lacked garlic flavor and definitely wasn't as cheesy as I thought it would be. It was terrible it just was not as garlic flavor as we would have liked it to be. The breadstick was hard and seemed old. It was not good so disappointing for that because they're usually pretty good. Customer service I will say is very good. Nice staff and great attitude and atmosphere. Clean dining area I noticed while I waited. I have had other pizza slices before so definitely going to get the OG pepperoni or the pepper, onion, jalapeño one. Now those are flavorful. My salad was good. Overall the Vinny was edible it just lacked the flavor but the breadstick was bleh, not fresh. I will have to try going earlier next time maybe they'll be much better.

King Dough is one of those places that feels cool without trying too hard…read more The open kitchen lets you watch the crew work around the wood-fired oven while the smell of fresh pizza slowly convinces you that you made an excellent life decision. The space itself is bright, industrial, and relaxed, with large garage doors that let plenty of light in and communal tables that make it easy to settle in. Our pizza came out surprisingly fast, especially considering everything is made fresh. We ordered pepperoni, sausage, and red onion, and they absolutely loaded it with toppings. Crispy, blistered crust, gooey cheese, and enough pepperoni to make me stop counting after about bite three. It was honestly love at first bite. One tip: don't skip the restroom before you leave. I won't spoil it, but whoever decorated those walls and that door clearly had some fun. King Dough nails that balance between casual neighborhood pizza joint and destination-worthy meal. I'd happily come back...and next time, I might have to branch out from my beloved pepperoni.

The Greko salad is my ALL TIME favorite salad and will never not be ordered. Pizzas are always perfectly cooked. While some of the topping choices seem strange, the combos always work!

Summary: Cunningham Group's successful take on a VERY family…read morefriendly restaurant at pretty decent prices. Delicious and fresh food, so much fun for the kids, and service was good but a little slow. Only downside is the location. Area is pretty worn down. Food: The pizza is delicious and fresh. Nice chew, a little bit crisp and the great smell of freshly dough. We got the sausage and pepperoni; sausage was better but both were good. The breadsticks were hot and delicious. A little soggy with butter but I mean.. it's butter. Is that bad? Dipping cheese was better than your standard stadium nacho cheese. Chopped salad was very fresh. Not the most interesting but still good. Hot Honey chicken wings were clearly freshly battered and fried. Incredible. Very similar to Korean Fried Chicken. Alcohol: Beer and wine option were good. Could use a couple more wine options. Beer and wine had a great range of styles and prices. Bar looked very well stocked for mixed drinks or drinking neat. Service: Staff was kind and helpful. They could have been slightly more available. The food did take a while longer than I would have expected for it not being that busy. But with how fresh it was, I'm sure it's because they were making it fresh. Ambiance: Tons of space. Ultra family friendly. Board games, yard games, ping pong, fire pits. Awesome! Train tracks across the parking lot were a fun side benefit. Kids loved watching the trains go by. Drinking out of plastic cups wasn't my favorite but I understand why. Location: Next to North Mass Boulder. Not a great part of town but felt safe once you're there. Final thoughts: If you're downtown and have kids, you gotta stop here especially if it's nice outside.

The issue is that you cannot select a time for pick up. So after the show, I hit order on the app. And the 25-30 minute wait I had seen multiple times before the show suddenly became 50 minutes. So we went home first then I went back out to retrieve the pizza at the appointed time. When I arrived it wasn't ready because they botched the order and started anew. The mistake was they made it with banana peppers instead of bell peppers. Honestly, I would not have cared if banana peppers were used. They should have called or texted, apologized for the error and just asked if we wanted a new one or if the banana peppers were fine. But instead I had to wait another 15 minutes for them to make a new pizza. By the time I got home it was an hour after we had planned to eat. I'll know better next time we want pizza and order from a place that has better service.

Everything else was pretty standard. This is located in the PNC building and it's only open during lunch. It's really hard to get to outside of that time. The service was great, though. The restaurant was very clean and had a cozy Italian decor. Overall it's a good spot for lunch if you work downtown or are doing something downtown M-F during the day. Otherwise the hours are way too restrictive. There are better pizza places that are actually open for dinner and on weekends. I would give this 3.75 stars if I could. The food is good, but the hours are limited.
